The holidays are here again! This is a time to celebrate with family, friends and food. Unfortunately, it is also a time when we run into problems with weight gain. Remember, your healthy eating habits don’t have to stop during the holidays. This holiday season we want you to count your blessings and not your calories. You can enjoy everything, but in moderation. So, go ahead and enjoy yourself. Here are some tips that you can use:

1. Watch your portions: Treat yourself to all of your favorite dishes, but in small portions. Moderation is the key
2. Be realistic: Don’t try to lose weight during the holidays. Instead, focus on maintaining your weight.
3. Don’t go to a party hungry: This can lead to overeating. It is best to eat a wholesome breakfast and lunch on the day of the party.
4. Eat Slowly: Spend 20 minutes on your meals. Eating slowly leads to less food consumption.
5. Avoid unconscious eating: Eat when you are hungry and not because food is near. It is best to avoid socializing near the food.
